The base scenario in this report simulates a network of 200 farms, with around 50 chickens per farm.
Each simulation creates a randomly generated network of farms.
Each simulation seeds one initial infected chicken at a random farm.
No culling practices are implemented.
The animation below is an example of the base network scenario with no culling.
This graphic shows a simulation run that resulted in a long epidemic.
Nodes represent farms, with edges illustrating connections between farms.
Black nodes represent farms with a normal chicken population, while red nodes indicate farms with at least one infected chicken.
The animation below illustrates the spread of a long duration epidemic in a random-growth scenario with culling implemented.
Nodes represent farms, with edges illustrating connections between farms.
Black nodes represent farms with a normal chicken population, while red nodes indicate farms with at least one infected chicken. Blue nodes represent farms that have been culled.
